Tulumba, Tolomba or Bamiyeh (Template:Langx; Template:Langx) is a deep-fried dessert found in Egypt, the Levant, Turkey and the regional cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire. It is a fried batter soaked in syrup, similar to jalebis or churros. It is made from unleavened choux pastry dough (usually about 3 cm long) piped with a pastry bag using an open star or similar tip. It is first deep-fried to golden colour and then sugar-sweet syrup is poured over it when still hot. It is eaten cold.

Name

Tulumba literally means 'pump' in Turkish, deriving from the Italian Script error: No such module "Lang".. The dessert is called pomba in Cypriot Greek and bombacık in Cypriot Turkish. In Armenian cuisine it may be called either pomp or tulumba (Armenian: թուլումբա). Tulumba features in Albanian, Serbian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Greek, (Template:Langx), Romanian, Azeri (Template:Langx) and Turkish cuisines. The sweet is also found in Persian cuisine as bamiyeh (Template:Langx), after the vegetable of the same Persian name (okra), due to its shape. In Hejazi it is called ṭurumba (Template:Langx) directly from Template:Langx, but in Egyptian and some Arab cuisines it is called balaḥ ash-Shām (Template:Langx), literally "Syrian dates" or "Damascene dates," though the name may have come from "şambali", another Turkish dessert (the "Şam" in "şambali" corresponding to "Shām" in "balaḥ ash-Shām" and both referring to Damascus). In Iraqi cuisine it is known as datli (Template:Langx), directly coming from Turkish word tatlı.
